# 1.1.1.1 Ensure mounting of cramfs filesystems is disabled # # Description # =========== # The cramfs filesystem type is a compressed read-only Linux filesystem # embedded in small footprint systems. A cramfs image can be used without # having to first decompress the image. # # Rationale # ========= # Removing support for unneeded filesystem types reduces the local attack # surface of the server. If this filesystem type is not needed, disable it. # # Audit # ===== # Run the following commands and verify the output is as indicated: # # # modprobe -n -v cramfs # install /bin/true # # lsmod | grep cramfs # # # Remediation # =========== # Edit or create the file /etc/modprobe.d/CIS.conf and add the following line: # # install cramfs /bin/true # parameters: linux: system: kernel: module: cramfs: install: command: /bin/true
